Interesting tests. On my heaviest kayak outfit I use 100lb braid, one of those heavy wind on spro swivels, as you have above, and a 40+ft leader of 130-250lb mono. On the mono end, I use a crimp, on the braid side of the swivel, a San Diego Jam knot.
The circle hook is attached with a crimp( smaller than most knots)
If all goes well, I pull a grouper out of a wreck.



Otherwise, it is hard work to bust off a snag....

You don’t have to serve it. Just insert 2 ft and glue the end. Give it a test. It works and has landed dozens of 1,000lb fish.

Wish I had me some grouper steaks on the BBQ.... I have released some nice black seabass they make for a good sled ride, just make sure they get back to the bottom
